Hey- dont YELL at me if I'm asking you a pc related question...

Here's how it started... I showed my PC friend about snapshot on desktop on my PBG4.

She was in awe and asked me if PC can do the same thing. I said "yes' But not sure whick keys to be pressed.. so I'm asking you "Used to be PC user" out there if you happen to know.. and that'd be Great!

Happy Holidays..

On the "PC", press the "Print SCR" key. Whatever is on the screen will be stored in "RAM." Open up "MS WORD" and paste it in a "new" document. Save the "document" and you're good to go.

Quite hard not to get, but here's a slightly clearer explanation:

There is a button on a windows keyboard called 'Print Screen' (or prt scrn) generally on the top row near the right.

Weehn you press that it copies a picture of the whole screen to the clipboard - just like pressing command-shift-control-3 on OS X. You then just need to open word/paintshop pro etc and go edit->paste and you have a picture of your screen.

One trick - if you hit ALT - Print Screen, it will grab just the active screen.
